Space Size

Pricing
Be as clear and upfront as possible in the ad. Users of Rofo rarely click on spaces that are unpriced. If you know what the expected expenses are for a certain space, add them to the description. If you want to advertise any special offers like free rent, offer them in the title or description.

Description

Timing
Be very clear when the space will be available. If you are flexible on timing, please state so!
